ANTITYPE. By Dr. M. Draudt. 143 
Hindwings paler with pronounced postmedian band, which seems situate rather closer to margin. Unfortunately 
nothing is said regarding the antennae of the <$, so that I am unable to express any opinion as to its classi¬ 
fication. 
A. polymita L. (Vol. 3, p. 135, pi. 33 c). — aithalodes Dhl. (18 b). Instead of the olive-grey ground 
colour, it is almost black-olive, the dark markings deep black, white markings purer and distinct. The grey- 
white hindwings are paler than in type. It occurs in the Abruzzi at high altitudes over 1500 m. 
A. flavicincta F. (Vol. 3, p. 136, pi. 33 c, d). — infuscata Porritt from England, is an extreme specimen 
of the meridionalis form, that is almost completely black with whitish markings and with no trace of orange- 
yellow. -—- enceladaea Trti. is about half-way, it is a fairly dark grey-black form with very restricted orange 
colouration, whilst in meridionalis there are liberal orange scales. In enceladaea hindwings are much darker 
grey-black. From around Aetna in Sicily. — sublutea Trti. (18 a) is a form that exceeds calvescens in paleness. 
Ground colour is a pale ochreous yellow, very faintly dusted with grey and boldly developed orange markings. 
Transverse lines and surrounds to stigmata pale grey-brown. Algeria. 
A. mfocincta Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 136, pi. 33 d, e). — intermedia Hartig are specimens from Tyrol that, corres¬ 
pond to the southern mucida form being deeper grey-black and without orange. —- ruforadiata Did. is another 
form from the S. Tyrol that is dark and is especially heavily speckled and streaked with orange. — nigrotincta 
Did. from greater altitudes in the mountains is rather smaller. It is a dusky grey intermedia form with heavily 
black median area. According to Dannehl mfocincta only turns up after midnight to sugar and light. 
A. chrysographa Wgnr. is much smaller and has more pointed wings than mfocincta, which it other¬ 
wise closely resembles. Scaling is coarser about like in philippsi. Ground colour grey-blue, interspersed with 
a nice golden-yellow at base and in marginal areas, as well as around stigmata. This yellow colouration varies 
in extent and may be extremely heavy or quite absent. Hindwings whitish with distinct subterminal and bold 
discal spot. Fringes checked. Antennae more heavily serrate than in mfocincta. Genitalia are totally different 
from mfocincta. From Akshehir in October. 
A. argillaceago Hbn. (Vol. 3, p. 136, pi. 33 e, f). —■ erythra Schaiv. (18 b) are brightly marked with red; 
mainly from Portugal, but also occurring in Spain (Sierra cle Greclos). — nigralba Gel. & Luc. from Landes are 
whitish with faint tone of ochreous yellow and with blackish markings. — nigrella Gel. <£ Luc. are similar 
but with heavier blackish dusting. Described from the Gironde. 
A. deliciosa Obth. (Vol. 3, p. 136) (18 b). I am inclined to consider this a genuine species, rather than 
an aberration. It is always smaller, wing contour wider, but the moth is more gracefully built. The species 
is very variable, the upper side being almost unicolourous pinky salmon and sometimes inclining towards yellow¬ 
ish grey. — pallidior /. n. (18 b) either quite devoid of black markings, or with same most faintly indicated. 
Hindwings brown in $. Sebdou, Guelt es Stel, Lambessa, in October. — squamosa Bothsch. (18 b) has median 
area peppered with black. 
A. sahariensis Bothsch. (= salmonea Obtli.). Thorax and forewings ochreous rose on upper side, inter¬ 
spersed with grey, especially in central area, markings otherwise like in argillaceago, but hindwings are not 
white, but faint reddish yellow with brownish outer margin and a grey posterior transverse line that runs pa¬ 
rallel to margin. It is characterised by black palpi. The antennae are somewhat more heavily pectinated. 
A rare species from Biskra in December; Djebel Antar still occurring in May. 
A. germana Bothsch. (= rosinata Obth.) (18 c). Somewhat smaller than deliciosa, all wings reddish, 
forewings a deeper rose than hindwings, heavily but irregularly spotted with deep black in median area. The 
posterior transverse line consists of black crescents. There are heavy black dots on the margin that is with 
blackish spots. Fringes rose with blackish checks and a similar dividing line. Hindwings with black posterior 
transverse line. From Guelt es Stel, in October. 
A. subversusta Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 136, pi. 33 f). The illustration in Main Volume was a bad copy, we are 
giving a better one here (18 c). 
A. miltina Pglr. (Vol. 3, p. 136, pi. 33 f). Here also the illustration was poor and we are giving a better 
picture (18 c), also of the ab. rtigrescens Warr. (18 c). Both from specimens in the Pungeler collection. 
A. dubia Dup. (Vol. 3, p. 137, pi. 33 f).—- johni Stertz (18 c) has pale yellowish white ground colour with 
delicate markings and blackish dusting contrasting characteristically. Median area somewhat blackish. Hind¬ 
wings of (J paler than in dubia with dark margin and distinct shaded band in centre, those of $ darker. Madrid. 
— - rondoui Stertz is now illustrated (18 c) from a specimen in the Pungeler collection. — mus Bours. is an ex¬ 
treme form of the preceding, in which the bluish leaden grey colouration extends over the entire wing, so that 
the transverse lines are extinct. — lutescens Trti. has a more reddish yellow ground colour, similar to many 
argillaceago, median area is more or less interspersed with blue-grey and the pale stigmata stand out therefrom. 
Nervi; Albarracin. —- reisseri Schaw. is an aberration of same which is pure ivory white, without any darker 
aithalodes.
